Three-time champion Pain Gaming has made things far from easy in the championship. The team got off to a rocky start, finishing in seventh place with three wins and seven losses until it ended midway through the second round – and we have already seen this film†
We don’t know what’s in the water when putting the game potions gaming desk, but the truth is that, historically, when the traditional ones activate the turbo mode, they only stop when the cup is in their hands. This was the case in 2013, 2015 and 2021 with CBLOL titles won. The cast quickly fell out of favor with the massive crowd that came out and supported it, and the conversation about side issues shifted.
†Is Trigo ready to replace brTT?†Can the South Korean Wizer play in an exclusively Brazilian team?†Can DyNquedo regain the form that made him Brazil’s best player in 2018?†Can the damage be maintained at last year’s level?†Will Cariok feel the weight of being alone after the roster change?†
Forget all that.
It’s a new pain, the questions can’t be the same. This team proved itself worthy of its solo chapter in the history of the organization, notably in the 3-2 against “Super FURIA” and 3-0 against KaBuM, which had dominated the championship until then. A defeat does not take away the shine of a new and extraordinarily talented team, while a victory writes its name in history once and for all.

Two-time CBLOL champions, the RED Canids are the only organization to keep the same roster in the 2021-2022 rematch. Pack players, who are happy at home and have known each other for a long time, came to the championship as as champions and Brazilians. Representatives at the 2021 World Cup. But… the year changes, the competitors change and the challenges change too.
RED have never left the leaderboard since the start of the group stage, battling to the bitter end against FURIA and KaBuM for the top two spots in the leaderboard. But the playoffs are a different championship, and the Herd learned that in the worst possible way: going 3-0 in the first series without crying or sailing against KaBuM.
“We’ve known each other for a long time and we’ve been through a lot together, but to be honest, we ran into a problem we’ve never had before that scares us a bit,” TitaN said a week later. the loss. . Without specifying what the question was, RED closed the box and tried to prove that the growing maturity of his team and the responsibility of being a champion go hand in hand.
“Recovered” from the double-elimination format change, RED had to show resilience and play for life three times in a row: 3-2 against Liberty, 3-1 against FURIA, and finally a 3-1 rematch against KaBuM for reach the Finals. A double RED champion who wants the first double in his history can painfully share the titles if he wins in the final.
